If He Had Been With Me Synopsis Novels & Stories

but end up loving, because that’s how we are. None of this would be happening without Zade’s help, though. He’s been my co-conspirator from the start. After saying goodbye to Sandra, Izzy, Willow, and the rest of the girls, I head to the police station, my heart racing with anticipation. Zade had assured me everything went off without a hitch, and that’s all I needed to hear. Grayson actually believes he got arrested during his bachelor party. Not for real, of course—but he doesn’t know that. Yet.

I pushed his hand away from my head, and he gently took his hand off my waist when I regained my balance. What was wrong with the drink? It was the same thing that Eason had, I don’t think there was anything wrong with it. “You should sit.” He brought out a chair and made me sit on it. “You don’t tell me what to do!” I snapped at him in my drunkenness. “For someone that shouldn’t be here.” “I was with my friend Hadley, we had a drink here, and I went to the restroom and couldn’t find her.” I tried not to cry, and now I was with a good-looking stranger.

There was even paper beside them with instructions written down. “The dosage is there,” he added. As he spoke, he got out of bed and started dressing. My stomach flipped again, and this time it had nothing to do with shrimp. He was leaving. My heart thudded hard in my chest, dragging up too many thoughts at once. Why did he do this? I had every reason to hate him. He had a fiancée. A whole woman in sea green standing beside him while cameras adored them. Yet somehow he was the one who carried me here, stayed the night, got a nurse, made sure I was breathing.

I was doing my best to sound as if I was searching my brain for the memory. “It doesn’t matter anymore,” said Gertrude. “Take your time. When you remember everything that happened to you, then you can tell us.” I liked this Gertrude. If the ‘other’ one had been this nice to me, I would have stayed with Hycinth and not run off to the south. “Was that Beta that tried to kill you your mate?” “Hycinth! She will tell us when she’s ready.” I could tell that he didn’t appreciate his mother’s tone but he remained silent. The rest of the meal was awkward for me. Everyone chatted freely but I had nothing to say.

I have no idea what happened to him then, but from what I recall, he was completely and utterly destroyed. On the other hand, I spent the evening mingling with the rest of the company's employees. We were having a terrific time until I lost track of what was happening. When I opened my eyes, I was in a bed with an unknown guy who turned out to be Zachary. I tried to flee when it happened. I am conscious that I made a mistake, but the moment I opened the door to the room, my life began to improve. I noticed an older man with widened eyes and a frozen body as if he had seen a ghost in front of him.

The agony that gripped my heart was unbearable. With tears streaming down my face, I rushed to his side, cradling him in my arms. The depth of our love echoed in that moment, as I whispered words of love and reassurance, desperately hoping that he would pull through. In the midst of the tragedy, a flicker of hope emerged. Sarah, who had been silently observing the events, stepped forward. With a heavy heart, she confessed her involvement in the plot and how she had been set up by Becky. Her betrayal had unwittingly led to this moment, but her remorse was genuine.

I watch him straighten, as if the information hasn't properly registered. "Did they hurt you?" His gaze roves over my exposed skin, checking for anywhere I may be favouring. "No, I'm fine. He wanted to take me with him, but he got interrupted," I explain, shuddering at the thought. What would have happened had I succumbed to the mate bond and went with him? I haven't been able to stop thinking about it... Which is why, tonight, I have plans to sneak out and meet this strange mate of mine.

“And agreed immediately? She’s no different from other girls—” “Hey! You’re making a mistake,” he cut me off from what I was going to say. “She couldn’t agree, his friends just forced her so she agreed. That’s why I’m happy because I’ll be with her later outside and of course I have to be with you,” he said as I frowned. “And why did you sympathize with me too?” I asked him who immediately turned to me.

I didn't feel even a shred of sympathy for any of them. If Rebecca hadn't overheard everything and even posted online to look for me out of kindness, I would have been the one getting torn apart by everyone right now. But Harry would never have let me off that easily. His ambition ran deep. He would have used that video to blackmail me endlessly, draining me dry piece by piece until my family had nothing left. Thinking back, everything between us had been premeditated from the very start.

Yeah, he was also backing his Beta when I got in and I wonder when he started this method. “ You finally come to see me on your own.” He says, and let out a slight cough. “ I wouldn’t do that if not for one special person in my life.” I tell him, settling down on the couch the Beta was seating on before. “ You found your mate?” he ask causally, I wanted to ignore him but Scarlet’s word echo in my head, and I calm my nerve. “ I found my mate and she is here with me.” I tell him, I felt I had just spoken too much.
